Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that forward Nick Paul of the North Bay Battalion is the 2014-15 recipient of the Dan Snyder Memorial Trophy awarded annually to the OHL’s Humanitarian of the Year.

Paul, a 20-year-old from Mississauga, ON, is revered in the City of North Bay for his commitment to the community for two straight seasons, particularly through the ‘Points for Paul’ campaign that he initiated with representatives of the North Bay Regional Health Centre Foundation (NBRHC) in the fall of 2014.

Committed to stamping out the stigma and getting people talking and seeking help, it was his idea to create a program to raise funds every time he earned a point this season. His efforts resulted in significant awareness and support with over $7,000 being raised for the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Unit (CAMHU).
